Bemidji was able to tie the game on their third power play of the night with a goal by Rob Sirianni at 12:21 of the third period. Mike Adamek, playing in his first game of the season, scored the game winning goal at 14:19 of the third period, assisted by Josh Sim. LSSU hockey is now 5-3-1 against nationally ranked opponents.
